The food is great here, the sandwich I got was jammed full of filling and the drinks were also delicious and weren't too cold and werent too hot to drink. The owner is extremely friendly to talk to which makes the service great. They do stop serving food at 3:30 but sometimes will push that a bit later if they can and have the demand to.

Brought my mum who was on a lunch break (she runs a care business) and we had the most perfect relaxed Mother’s Day lunch. Soup and sandwich and my little boy was treated to a special ice cream by the owner - will 100% be back and I highly recommend

Lovely, lovely little cafe ❤️ Friendly, welcoming, accommodating and obliging. Fairly full, but still managed to shuffle seats to accommodate us. Fabulous milkshakes, lovely coffee. Didn't eat, but will definitely return as the menu looked great.

Superb place for coffee or more. However, what sets out a really special place are the little extras. Examples: Watched one of the girls washing her hands - text book and meticulous - unlike most of the TV chefs! Also, dropped my fork on the floor and before I could reach down, a replacement was laid on our table.

We walked from Silverdale to Arnside and had a stop here. Takeaway cappucino and a a large slice of chocolate guinness cake which was enjoyed by my Mum. I had the berry frangipane slice which was gorgeous. We got takeaway so we could sit on the prom in the sun. The cafe was busy but we didn’t have to que.

Lovely place for a coffee whilst visiting the local scenery. Had a cheese scone (freshly baked) and a sandwich, which were both very tasty so didn't manage to get a photo! Friendly staff, and clean environment. Highly recommend

Whilst on our bike ride in we paid a visit to the Sandpiper cafe in Arnside . Our Cappuccino & Americano was the best ever for presentation & taste. The service was slicker than a buttered banister & to top it all my husband who is a flapjack connoisseur & can't resist, thought he had died and gone to heaven when he tasted his pistachio flapjack. It has been rated 10 out of 10 , the best ever ! Can't wait to visit again ! Andy & Jilly Cheshire

Can always rely on Sandpipers for a nice lunch. A bit small but we never need to wait too long. That staff are great and the food (especially the Flatbreads) is amazing

Fantastic service. Great savoury food (I recommend the veggie rice pie if they have it on). Lots of cakes to choose from. But the service is 10/10 and always feel very welcome. Will make this my regular when passing through Arnside.
